I would never put ads on relays. That being said. I have to cover over 1/2 of the nostr:npub16fcy8ynknssdv7s487nh4p2h4vr3aun64lpfea45d7h4sts9jheqevshgh costs to keep it free. This month we got to the 1/2 since I became like PBS and NPR with #Adopt-A-Relay
Would rather keep moving toward Relays-As-A-Service with nostr:npub1rhaxmxxgs5jkw4zesrptnwd5nrknh5lkaxnlzzegz9vphlgfdlqsjmej47 then everyone can pay and get a relay. 😉
This philosophy assumes that all the clients will be using the gossip model right ? That way I can communicate with my followers without the need of having the same relays, so user discovery won’t be a problem
Ideally. But either way we would give users the option of streaming to the Relayable relays from theirs and choice to broadcast notes. Streaming to replicate also makes it actually decentralized. Right now some of the most popular relays are single server islands.
Looking forward to see what nostr:npub1rhaxmxxgs5jkw4zesrptnwd5nrknh5lkaxnlzzegz9vphlgfdlqsjmej47 will have to offer 😍💜
Thanks. Just waiting on ARIN for blocks of IPs and to get beta version of strfry admin UI we're building. But soon! 🤙
